These are my examples of a math newsletter that I would do for my classroom. I made these appropriate for 2nd graders.
My thought behind them was to make them a useful tool for parents or other adults and the children to use for upcoming events, how to incorporate math at home with items already there, information for parents on why we are doing what we are doing and how it may differ from what they learned and why. The back is used for an activity that the children could do with another student, another teacher, grandparent, parent or even myself. There are incentives for turning it back in completed (just so I would have an idea of any outside or lack of outside support) and the class would get some additional time to be active.
The newsletters were created in an Adobe program called In Design, then converted to PDF's.
Hello,
These are my 2nd grade newsletters. My idea was to keep it short and sweet, one page long with the hopes that parents will read them. I also included some fun math activities kids could do related to certain "fun" holidays, like cookie monsters birthday or national button day.
Hope you like them!

These are my weekly 2nd grade math class newsletters. I designed them with the idea of keeping them very simple since they were a weekly review of our activities in the classroom. I added information regarding what was done during the past week, what activities could be done at home, websites to consider, and some previews into the following week. I wanted them to be bright and fun for the kids, so they could use them as review of what they did, as well as so they could discuss them with their parents.
Let me know if you can't open them and I'll send them as an e-mail attachment instead (I know that I am having trouble opening some files from the wiki so far).
Here are my weekly math newsletters for my 4th grade class. The main article is about what we learned in math during the week. There's a section for parents, a section for kids, and a calendar of upcoming events. This is how I would do class to home communication.
Hello everyone,
Above you will find my newsletters for "my first grade class" as they learn about coins.
Enjoy the family counting coins newsletters,
